St Viveknanand International School

Our school is situated in Sikandrabad, which is in the Bulandshahr district, 203205. It is a regular part of town, nothing too special about the street itself, but we have been here for a good amount of time. The building has several floors, and we spend most of our day climbing the stairs between the different classes. It gets pretty loud during the breaks, which is just part of the job when you work with kids. We have a staff room where we sit and drink tea while we grade papers or plan out what to do for the next day. It is not a polished, high-tech environment; it is more about the physical books and the wooden desks. We try to keep things organized, but with so many students, there is always a little bit of chaos happening somewhere. Some days the bells do not ring exactly on time or the chalk runs out, but we just deal with it as it comes. Sikandrabad is a busy area with a lot of shops and houses nearby, so there are always people moving around outside the gates. We focus on the local kids and try to give them a decent place to spend their day. Most of us live close by, so we are part of the same community ourselves. We do not use any fancy words to describe what we do. We just teach the subjects, look after the kids, and go home.
